I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it's clunky to use. Can you explain why?

It’s only hard to tell indentation in Python when the code block gets longer than about a screen, which is usually a sign the code should be refactored into smaller methods.

    As someone who has been working in Python a ton for the last couple years, it’s amusing to me how many downvotes you’re getting for simply noting that good code style and tight, terse, modularized implementation of business logic more or less addresses the issue. Because it absolutely does in the vast majority of cases.

    People hate hearing that they are bad coders 😂

    You and the other guy are saying to focus on writing code with less indentation and using smaller methods, and you both got downvoted.

    I fully agree, small methods all the way, and when that's not possible it's time to refactor into possibility!
